Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair

This past Sunday we went to the Manhattan Beach Hometown Fair. This is the first year for us going. There were many vendors selling homemade crafts. In addition there were also many types of games for the kids and food vendors. It was a nice cool and sunny day at Manhattan Beach, so it was nice to get out and walk around.

We had a hard time finding parking. We decided to park at the Metlox complex. This is where Brandon's dentist is located at. They have underground parking for 25 cents for 20 minutes. It was a short walk from there. That is your best bet for parking. You can also park at the nearby Northrop campus for shuttle service every 15 minutes.

We did not do much shopping at the craft vendors. We just wanted to get out and walk around. Anna bought a huge cookie at one of the food vendors and I bought a bag of chili Fritos. It was tasty. There were a lot of organizations trying to raise money selling food items such as burgers, hot dogs, and drinks.

There were a lot of activities going around including performances on stage, kid's activities and carnival games, a chili cook off, and much more. It was a lot bigger than we thought. It was nice to spend a couple of hours there.
